Modular bone implant devices and means of insertion

A modular bone fixation system comprising:

• a bone plate comprising:
• a first end having a post aperture extending therethrough;
• a plurality of tabs adjacent to and circumferentially spaced about the post aperture, each of the plurality of tabs extending from a bottom surface of the bone plate and having one or more bone engaging features thereon, wherein the plurality of tabs are configured to extend into a first hole within a first bone;
• a second end having a screw aperture extending therethrough;
• and
• a staple aperture extending through the bone plate at an intermediate location between the first end and the second end;
• a post insert comprising a body sized and shaped to fit within the post aperture and a head configured to seat against the bone plate around at least a portion of the post aperture, wherein when positioned within the post aperture, the body of the post insert forces the plurality of tabs outward such that the one or more bone engaging features are configured to grip the first bone;
• a staple comprising a bridge, a bone engaging member extending from a first end of the bridge, and a post engaging member extending from a second end of the bridge opposite the first end, the bone engaging member configured to extend through the staple aperture and seat within a second hole within a second bone to exert a compressive force between the first bone and the second bone;
• and
• a bone screw configured to extend through the screw aperture and seat within the second bone.
